What can a First Lady know about cookies? Well, this one does. Man, these cookies are good. Did you see this article? It was recipes of all of the first ladies' favorite cookie recipes. The only one I trusted enough to try was Barbara Bush's. She is my favorite ever first lady and just seems like she would know how to make a mean cookie. And she does. This is my new favorite-of-all cookie recipes. I make a double batch and freeze the dough in balls, put them in ziplocks, and bake them as wanted from the freezer.
Barbara Bush's Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups quick-cooking oats
1 (12 oz) bag semisweet chocolate chips
Beat together butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until fluffy. Add the flour, soda, and salt and mix all together. Stir in the chocolate chips. Let chill for about an hour. Drop batter by tablespoons onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool. You're welcome!
